Dear Diary, June 7, 2011
I was very sad to hear what happened to Woollie yesterday. Woollie was my favorite sheep. I have a storybook about Woollie. It says when Woollie was four, he ran away from Mr. Armstrong's farm, and it took Mr. Armstrong six years to find Woollie. But Woollie had grown so much fleece that he didn't even look like a sheep. Mr. Armstrong decided to cut his fleece on TV so everyone could see. Daddy said this happened on the day I was born. Woollie's fleece weighed 27 kg, and could make clothes for 20 large men. I asked Daddy if his favorite vest was made from Woollie's fleece. Daddy said no, because Woollie's fleece was sold to collect money for sick kids. In the storybook, Woollie was taken to see Ms. Stella Clark, the leader of our city then. They even had tea together. Daddy said Woollie did meet Ms. Clark, but he wasn't sure if they had tea. Daddy said Woollie was put down because he was too sick and there was no way to help him. I cried. I hope Woollie will be happy up there in the sky.

Here's The Piano Lesson, one of Henri Matisse's most famous paintings. The boy in the picture is the painter's son, Pierre. In the picture, Pierre looks quite serious. Why? Well, look at the yellow candle on the red piano. It's almost burned down. So maybe Pierre has already practiced for hours. And Matisse uses a lot of gray, not a very fun color, right? It shows how the poor kid feels, don't you think?
On the top right corner, you can see a woman sitting straight on a seat. Is she Pierre's piano teacher? Or his mother? Well, if you're a Matisse fan, you'll know this is in fact another painting by him, Woman on a High Stool. Interesting, right? Matisse likes to do that a lot. In fact, there's another work by Matisse in the picture. Did you find it? Right! The sculpture on the bottom left corner!
Matisse painted this picture in 1916. Pierre was already 16 then, but the artist painted his son much younger than he really was. Pierre had gone away to be a soldier, and Matisse didn't know whether he would come back. Maybe this is a worried father's way to remember the good old days.

On Teachers' Day, we thank our teachers for their hard work. We also celebrate this day to remember Confucius, the great Chinese teacher from 2,500 years ago. Well, that's everything we're taught about Teachers' Day. But, the first Teachers' Day was not on Confucius's birthday, and it was not about thanking our teachers.
In 1930, Mr. Tai Shuang-qiu and other teachers celebrated the first Teachers' Day in Nanjing. But there was nothing to celebrate. Teachers were paid very little and not respected. These teachers took this chance to shout out their problems. They had Teachers' Day on June 6 because the date was easy to remember and near the end of the school year. This action by Mr. Tai and the other teachers was welcomed and followed by teachers from other cities. In 1939, the government made Teachers' Day a national holiday. However, it was on August 27, the day when Confucius's birthday was celebrated. Not everyone hailed this decision: Teachers' Day was never about Confucius, and Confucius couldn't speak for all the teachers either.
One funny thing was that the government was wrong about the date of Confucius's birthday. In 1952, people found out he was in fact born on September 28. That was when we started to celebrate Teachers' Day on Confucius's real birthday.

Usually I wouldn't cross the park at this time of night. But walking around the park would take more time, and it was raining so hard that I couldn't even see clearly what was right before me. So I entered the park. And that was the first stupid thing I did tonight.
Soon after I walked into the park, I saw a man under a tree up ahead. My heart fell. The stories I'd heard about the park __38__ into my head at this moment. Anyone with a clear mind would just turn back. But me? No. I did __39__ stupid thing: I decided to hurry past him.
Just when I was passing the man, he raised his head and gave me the strangest smile ever. I got scared and started running. "Hey!" the man shouted from behind. "Wait!" He was running after me!
I ran like crazy. I had hoped the trees would keep some rain off. And they __40__. But they also made the park look even darker. I couldn't see what was ahead of me. Then, I ran into something. It was the man!
"Don't kill me!" I cried.
"What? I __41__ to give back your bag! You dropped it," the man gave me my bag.
Now, I felt saying that to the man was the stupidest thing I did tonight.
